Fulcrum Metals plc (AIM: FMET), a company pioneering the use of innovative cyanide-free technologies to recover precious and critical metals from mine waste and support site remediation, is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Natasha Dixon as an independent Non-Executive Director with immediate effect.

Ms. Dixon brings significant capital markets experience, with a strong track record in supporting the listing, financing and growth of both public and private companies, predominantly in Canada.

Following the transaction, Natasha joined Pelangio as Director of External Relations, while also providing corporate advisory services to a range of private and public companies across the fintech, consumer goods and natural resource sectors.

In 2021, Natasha co-founded Mink Ventures Corporation, leading the company through its successful Capital Pool Company (CPC) listing and subsequent graduation to the TSX Venture Exchange in January 2023. She continues to serve as President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director.

Natasha also served as a director of Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. through its C$45 million acquisition by IAMGOLD Corporation in February 2024.

She holds a B.A. with High Honours in Environmental Studies from Carleton University.

Notes to Editors

About Fulcrum Metals PLC

Fulcrum Metals PLC (AIM: FMET) is an AIM listed technology led natural resources company focused on recovery of precious metals from mine tailings (previously milled and processed ore) in Canada using environmentally friendly leaching technology developed by Extrakt Process Solutions LLC and its associates (together "Extrakt").  The Company's current projects are the tailing sites of the former Teck-Hughes and Sylvanite gold mines, located in the Kirkland Lake region of Ontario. In addition, the Company has interests in a portfolio of highly prospective mineral exploration and development projects in both Ontario and Saskatchewan Canada.

Fulcrum has an agreement for exclusivity rights in respect of any licensed use of Extrakt's proven cyanide free technology on legacy gold mine waste sites over the mining districts of Timmins and Kirkland Lake. These are two of Canada's biggest gold camps with a historical production above 110Moz over the past 100 years, leaving more than 70 documented legacy mine waste sites.

Fulcrum is now focused on the development of its Teck-Hughes and Sylvanite projects towards production using Extrakt's technology and positioned to scale the concept across two of Canada's historically most productive gold regions. Fulcrum believes this represents a substantial, long-term opportunity to unlock significant and largely untapped value from legacy mine waste.
